It is common to believe that the only minority that intervened in the United States Army during the Second World War was the black minority. The intervention of the native minority of the USA is much less known. The suspicion of the black soldier was as absurd as it was obvious and widespread among the soldiery and the officers of the American army. The few combat battalions, not to highlight the black troops in the auxiliary corps, were sent, as an example of that suspicion, exclusively by white officers. In the Navy the presence in destinations of cabin boys and auxiliary sailors (cleaning, kitchens, waiters) of the blacks was numerous.
The rest of the African-American people stayed on the continent working and making the war effort carried out by the rest of the population.
